Spirit: What does this word mean? To many Morron 
Senior High School students spirit signifies the act of getting 
involved enthusiastically in as many school related activities 
as possible. Out to others it means much more. To these 
people spirit is that inner force that motivates them to apply 
rheirselves both academically and soa'ally

Spirir is shown by students who go our for o sport, 
even if they ore unsuccessful in receiving a position. 
Needless to soy, those who do moke rhe team prove 
their spirir during rhe bng season and it’s many prac¬ 
tices. 

What about rhe spirir of rhe coaching staff here at 
M.H.S.? The answer is quire obvious. Their dedication, 
understanding, and patience helped get Morron 
where it is today-one of rhe leading competitors in 
sports in rhe area. 

Dur what mokes it all worth while is rhe loyalty of

For 160 couples, rhe nighr of May 2 was filled with 
spirit. The occasion was "Memory Lone", rheme 
given ro rhe junior-senior prom. 

Students showed both interest and spirit in con¬ 
nection with rhe prom. The junior doss focused rheir 
interests from the prom preparations months before 
rhe actual event. Those who attended "Memory 
Lane " displayed their spirit by investing many dollars 
to rheir attire, which induded gowns for rhe women 
and tuxedos for rhe men. 

Wicker Pork Clubhouse, rhe prom sire, set rhe

AMERICANS FREED AFTER 444 DAYS 


On November 4, 1979, 66 
American diplomats were token 
hosroge by Iranian militant students in 
Tehran, Iran. This action set off a 
world wide concern for the safe 
release of these Americans. 

Why did the Iranians capture 
these Americans? Decouse the 
Ayatollah Khoemeini, along with the 
militants, demanded that the exiled 
Shah of Iran be returned home to 
face "revolutionaryjustice." 

America was the Shah's home 
after he feld Iran in fear of a 
rebillion. In January, the Shah was 
treated for cancer and in late July 
the Shah passed away,- his impact to 
be resolved by President James Earl 
Carter. 

Throughout the ordeal, President 
Jimmy Carter had taken action 
specifically intended to retaliate 
against the Iranians. The President 
ordered Iranian students to report to 
the Immigration and Naturalization 
Service for visa checks and also 
validated all visas issued to Iranians 
for future entry in the United Stares. 

In addition, Carter froze Iranian 
assets before Iran could withdraw its 
money from the U.S. banks. 

Prior to Thanksgiving, two black 
marines and a woman were 
released. Shortly thereafter, 10 more 
hostages were sent home in rime for 
o Thanksgiving reunion with their 
families. 

In several instances, the United 
Nations met to no avail, namely 
because of the countries of Iran and 


Russia. 

Then in 1980 came one of the 
most humiliating episodes in United 
Stares military history — failure of a 
commando mission sent to rescue 
the hostages. Drawn up by President 
Carter, the April 25 mission failed 
because three helicopters had been 
grounded by malfunctions. 

Eight American servicemen died 
when a helicopter crashed into an 
airplane. Ironically, they met their 
deaths after the mission was called 
off. 

On the 251st day of the crises, 
Richard Queen, a vice consul or the 
embassy, was released because "he 
needed more sophisticated medical 
care ." Queen's illness was later 
diagonosed as multiple sderosis. 

Although many talks concerning 
the hostages rook place since the 
takeover, new hope arose from a 
new round of talks on January 18, 
1981. These talks, held at the 
Algerian Foreign Ministry, were 
efforts to conclude negotiations to 
end the 14-month hosroge crises by 
trading billions of dollars in frozen 
Iranian assets for 52 American 
captives. The U.S. ream led by 
Deputy U.S. Secretary of Store 
Warren Christopher and the Algerian 
officers, who acred as intermediaries, 
worked continuously through the 
night. 

Agreement with Iron was reached 
the following day, January 19, but 
Iran's chief hostage negotiator said 
the flight to freedom awaited official 


word that 9 billion dollars had been 
transferred to the Dank of England. 

This official word was received the 
following day, January 20, 1981, the 
444rh day of captivity for the 52 
Americans. At 10.30 a.m., Chicago 
rime, the hostages had taken off on 
the first leg of their long-delayed 
journey home. 

Desides o landing in Athens, 
Greece, where the jet was refueled, 
the hostages' next stop was Algeria. 
There they were to board an 
American jet and then travel to their 
"home” for the next five days, an 
American Military Hospital, in 
Weisbaden, West Germany. 

Then finally, at about 3 p.m. on 
Sunday, January 25, 1981, the 52 
Americans first stepped on U.S. soil. 
After landing at Stewart Airport in 
Newburgh, New York, the former 
hostages went with their families to 
the West Point Military Academy. 

The nation's official welcoming 
celebration was held on January 27 
at Andrews Air Force Dase in 
surburban Maryland. 

The festivities or Andrews were 
followed by on elaborate ceremony 
at the White House. 

It was now a fact that the entire 
nation shored in the joy for the safe 
return of the hostages. A yellow 
ribbon became the national symbol; 
only one of the factors which helped 
unify the United Stares. 


HAMMOND 

UNLOADS 

WASTE 


The City of Hammond was found 
responsible for discharging pollution in 
Lake Michigan during the latter parr 
of the post summer. 

The Environmental Protection 
Agency said the discharge forced 
Chicago beach closures last summer 
between August 6 and November 1. 

The EPA sued the Hammond 
Sanitary District for damages of 
$10,000 for every rime it violated 
pollution laws, as it was found to be 
the main polluter. 


High concentrations of bacteria 
entered a well beneath the station, 
due to an unwanted connection 
between storm and sanitary sewers. 

The pumping station discharged 
rhe liquid to the lake. 

The U.S. District Court of Chicago is 
going to ensure that action is taken 
to seal this unwanted connection. 

The Metropolitan Sanitary Disrrict of 
Chicago was responsible for beach 
dosings from July 21 through rhe 23.

DEMOCRATS SHUT OUT REPUBLICANS 


Democrats maintained their hold 
on Lake County Government by 
winning oil five county government 
races in November, 1980. 

Former Hammond City Judge 
Frank Srodoto defeated Joseph 
Amodeo for Second District Lake 
County Commissioner, while Rudy 
Bartolomei topped Allen Evans in the 
race for Third District County 
Commissioner. 


COUNTY 


In other county races, Coroner 
Albert Willardo and Recorder William 
Dielski Jr. won second terms, while 
Surveyor Steve Manich was elected 
to a fifth term. 

In addition, four Democratic county 
judges were elected without 
Republican opposition. 

Lorenzo Arredondo was elected to 
the Lake County Circuit judgeship. 

Lake County Court Judges Nicholas 
Shiralli and Orval Anderson were re¬ 
elected to their small daims post, 
while Steven Dielok was elected to 
succeed Arredondo os judge of the 
county's third seat. 


An estimated 5,000job seekers 
stormed the Inland Employment 
office on Wednesday, January 21 
after reading in the Hommond Times 
that applications would be given our 
on January 21, 22, and 23. 

Even though general labor 
applications were not distributed rill 
8:30 a.m. that same morning, many 
people began lining up outside 
Inland's employment office at 11:30 
p.m. Tuesday, camping over night in 
order to get the applications. 

This was the first rime since 
February of 1980, that Inland was 
giving our applications for general 
labor positions. 


Republican Dan Quale defeated 
incumbent Senator Birch Bayh, a 
Democrat, in the election on 
November 4. Bayh, who is also a 
liberal, was seeking an 
unprecendenred fourth term. 

Democratic Representative Adam 
Benjamin, easily won his third term 
turning bock Republican Douglas 
Harkin. 

Indiana Lr. Gov. Robert Orr will 
lead the stare for the next four 
years. His running mare, and the 
stare's next lieutenant governor, is 
Republican John Murz. 


STATE 


The three Lake County Superior 
Court judges up for retention on a 
non-partisan ballot were kept on the 
payroll. Judge Darlene Wanda Mears 
pulled the most votes for retention. 

For the Indiana Senate, Ralph 
Poresra, a Republican from 
Hammond, defeated Mathias Kerger 
in the second district. 


Applications were for future 
openings only, nor existing jobs. An 
Inland spokesman said the 
applications would only be filed for 
future reference. 

When distribution of the application 
began, the crowd damaged the 
exterior of the building, o fence 
along one side of it, and o gate 
between a parking lor and a 
driveway. 

Five person were injured during 
several incidents of pushing and 
shoving. All were treated at local 
hospitals and released. 

Applications were distributed the 
following two days without a 
disturbance. 


NATIONAL 


Ronald Wilson Reagan became 
the 40th President of the United 
Stares with his landslide win over 
Jimmy Carter in the November 4th 
election. 

Reagan and Carter ran their 
campaign with the antics of 
Independent candidate John 
Anderson in the baGk of their minds. 
Although Anderson was excluded 
from the "big debate", he did win 
five percent of the vote. 

Despite predictions in various polls, 
the margin of victory was quire large 
as Carter claimed victories in only 
seven stares and rallied 49 electoral 
votes compared to Reagan s 489 
electoral votes. 

Reagan and running mare George 
Bush lead from the earliest returns 
and it quickly became clear that their 
rruimph was a prelude to a 
sweeping shift in American political 
power. 

For the first rime in 26 years, the 
Republicans gained control of the 
Senate as they captured 10 
Democratic Senate sears. The upper 
house now contains 51 Republicans 
and 49 Democrats. 

On January 20, 1981, Ronald 
Reagan was inaugurated as 
President of the United States. This 
event, however, was nor the main 
concern of the nation. For it was on 
this same day that the 52 American 
hostages were finally released from 
Iron. 


IN UIUCKT 

Hammond Police Officer 
Larry Pucalik was fatally shot 
at the Holiday-Inn South on 
November 14, 1980. Pucalik, 
33, had 7 years of service 
with the Hommond Police 
Department.

selected seniors Terry Dunne, Tony 
Maddox, and John Swanson for the 
roles. Having been in o number of

three to four hour after school 
rehearsals were a new experience 
for Dunne.

STUDENTS ATTEND INSTITUTES 


To rhe surprise of many Morron 
students, attending an institute wasn't 
all "fun and games." Contrary to 
popular belief, there was very little 
rime to socialize. 

Selecting a rheme, designing a 
cover, and critiquing books from 
other schools were among rhe 
activities of TOP HAT editors when 
they attended rhe yearbook insirure 
at Sr. Mary's College in South Bend. 

Indiana University was rhe sire for 
rhe newspaper institute for Morronire 
editors. While there, rhe students 
learned effective editing and various 
newspaper layouts. 

Girl and Doy Staters parridpated in 
government by running for offices 
and holding assemblies and 
conventions at Indiana Stare 
University. 

Dy attending Doylor University 
Debate Institute, Sophomore Tim 
Salach learned valuable debate 
techniques and also researched this

The Chemistry Club benefits members by giving them an 
idea of the available job opportunities involving the chem¬ 
istry field. The Chem Club also gives members a chance to 
socialize with other students who have an interest in chem¬ 
istry. 

The group, sponsored by Dr. Mary Pettersen, went to 
Inland Steel in December to view the chemical labs, and 
visited Amaco labs in Whiting to observe chemical testing. 

At the beginning of the school year, Chem Club mem¬ 
bers sponsored a fish bowl toss at the International Culture 


Festival to raise funds. In the future, the club hopes to 
sponsor projects such as collecting aluminum cans and 
newspapers for recycling. 

The Physics Club, sponsored by Mr. David Lindsey, en¬ 
ables students to explore physical phenomena that would 
be impossible to observe during class. The additional study 
and performing of experiments expands the club members' 
knowledge and interest in physics. 

Club members attended a field trip to Yerke's Observa¬ 
tory in Wisconsin to observe the world's largest refracting 
telescope, and went on a camping trip in April to study 
astronomy. The Physics Club also raised money by selling 
doughnuts and raffle tickets. 

The Electronics Club, sponsored by Mr. Joel Romero, 
gives students the opportunity to work with electrial 
equipment. Students are able to share their interests in 
electrical projects by working on projects together. Most 
members join the Electronics Club after participating in 
electronics class.

Organizations Honor, 
"Focus" On Interests 

The Photo Club, sponsored by Mr. Dieter Meister, gives 
students a chance to advance their skills in photography, 
whether the student is of the novice, intermediate, or 
advanced class. Members are not required to take a pho¬ 
tography class to belong to the club, but most club mem¬ 
bers find that photography class is helpful and further de¬ 
velops their skills. Many club members have gone on to be 
photographers for the school paper, yearbook, and local 
photo establishments. 

The club offers a training schedule for people who are 
not familiar with using a camera. The trainers, who are club 
officers and more experienced members, work with the 


students in explaining and demonstrating the operation of 
the equipment. Once the trainees have enough knowledge 
of camera operation, they are tested, and are then allowed 
to use the equipment on their own if they "pass" the test. 

Because photo chemicals and papers are expensive. 
Photo Club members were busy with fund raisers this year. 
Club members also took passport pictures for students, 
teachers, and other community members travelling over¬ 
seas. Photo contests as well kept the group occupied this 
year. Club members took part in the National Schoolastic 
Photo Contest, co-sponsored by Kodak, and an inter-club 
contest during the spring. 

Quill and Scroll is an honorary organization for members 
of the Mortonite or Top Hat staffs, who have been on staff 
for at least two semesters. The group sponsored the annual 
journalism banquet, where new Quill and Scroll members 
were inducted in a candlelight ceremony.

Association'Keeps Up 
With Annual Traditions 

If you ever wondered what was going on in room 306, 
at the end of the hall, you should take a closer look. At 
first glance you will notice desks, then students. Then you 
will notice some tables and a couch and-paint and old 
Inaugural decorations? By now you will have realized that 
this is the Student Association Office, where Student 
Association members get school activities rolling. 

Before the school year started, the association, 
sponsored by Mr. Mike Damiano, was working hard to 
raise funds. Saturday afternoons during the summer were 
spent washing cars and advertising with "car wash" 
posters at the gas station. The hard work payed off as 


profits accumulated. Also in the summer, association 
members donated their time to working at Freshman 
Orientation, where they introduced Morton to incoming 
students with a tour of the school. 

As in the years past, students in the association worked 
at the annual Culture Festival. Members were there to set 
up at the beginning, clean up at the end, and do various 
jobs in between. Soon after the Culture Festival, the 
association was making Homecoming plans, starting with 
the planning of "Spirit Week". Members decided on 50's, 
Western, Jersey and Hat, Clash, and Red and Gray days as 
"Spirit Week" days. The association also sponsored the 
Homecoming dance, featuring the group "Strider". 

"Atlantis" was the theme of the association's Inaugural 
Ball, on November 15th. Members transformed paper, 
paint, and styrofoam into sea creatures which turned the 
cafeteria into an underwater tale for that special evening.

Club Members Construct; 

Share Common Interests 

Morton plays and other productions might be 
impossible without the aid of the Stage Crew, who is 
literally "behind the scenes". The crew, sponsored by Mr. 
Donn Edwards, builds sets and takes care of lighting for 
Morton plays, and band and choir concerts. They also 
prepare sets for groups that rent the auditorium stage, 
such as private dance groups or university tour groups. 
Stage Crew members are also in charge of maintaining 
the equipment. 

Any person with an interest in preparing sets can be a 
member of the Stage Crew, who meet in class and 
outside of school on Saturdays and evenings. 

The word Thespian, coming from the Creek poet 


Thespis of the 6th Century B.C., today means a person 
who participates in theater. The organization of 
Thespians, sponsored also by Mr. Edwards, is an honorary 
group of students who participate in theater, whether 
they build sets, sew costumes, or perform in student 
productions. Students earn points through these activities 
and are eligible to become a Thespian when 15 points are 
accumulated. 

The induction ceremony for Thespians was in the 
Spring of 1980 on the auditorium stage. After the 
ceremony, the new Thespians attended a reception along 
with their parents, faculty members, and other students 
active in the theater. 

Chess Club members started out the school year 
building experience and confidence in their chess games 
by playing one another at Monday meetings. The group, 
sponsored by Mr. Don Huts, hopes to participate against 
other schools in chess tournaments throughout the state.

Cheerleaders Increase 
Skills At Summer Camp 

The cheerleading squads were devoted to firing up the 
crowds and getting the spectators to join in on the cheers 
at Morton athletic events. Varsity squad member Lori 
Woodward commented, "I think Morton's cheering sec¬ 
tion has really improved this year. The Pom Pon girls and 
the Lettergirls have been a great help to the cheerleaders." 
The varsity, juniors-varsity, and freshman squads cheer for 
their respective teams at football and basketball games. 

The girls were out raising funds before the school year 
began, having car washes and bake sales, and selling cheese 
and sausage. During the school year, the varsity cheer¬ 
leaders sold Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Krunch and 


Almond Bars to students. Squad members also co-spon¬ 
sored an after-school volleyball game between the faculty 
and the varsity volleyball team. 

Striving to do their best, the girls could be seen practic¬ 
ing after school every day during the fall, and practicing 
every Tuesday and Thursday during the rest of the school 
year. The varsity cheerleaders got their start in August, 
when they attended a five-day camp at Indiana University 
in Bloomington. The girls learned new cheers, cheer tech¬ 
niques, chants and partner stunts. 

Some changes were made in the varsity squad this year. 
This year was the first year for having a sophomore on the 
varsity squad, and it was also the first year the squad con¬ 
sisted of seven members. The girls stuck with the tradition 
of the ''governor mascot'', with a different cheerleader 
wearing the mascot uniform at every game. 














Pom Pons Revise Rules; 
Twirlers Throw Sparks 

Developing and encouraging school spirit is the purpose 
of the Pom Pon squad, as stated in their new constitution. 
The new constitution revised rules which resulted in a 
smooth running year and many new ideas. The squad 
adopted the name of "Governorettes", and also elected 
officers. With the new addition of officers, work was divid¬ 
ed up, and activities ran more efficiently. The new consti¬ 
tution also stated special requirements it takes to be a Pom 
Pon girl. Ms. Helen Siukola, Governorette sponsor, said 
that the enforcement of rules is necessary for the girls to 
put effort into their performances, and effort results in a 
top notch squad. 


With the aim of improving skills, squad members attend¬ 
ed camps at Indiana and Ball State Universities during the 
summer. The Governorettes sold candy, had car washes, 
and sponsored a booth at the Little Red School House 
Festival, which enabled them to buy new uniforms. Practic¬ 
ing with the band every day also kept their summer days 
busy. 

Ms. Siukola feels that this has been a successful year due 
to the effort put forth by each girl, and commented, "I've 
never had so much cooperation as I've had this year". 

Although the Twirlers had only two members this year, 
they successfully completed their season. They added vari¬ 
ety with various routines to basketball and football game 
halftimes. Spark was added to Homecoming night with a 
fire baton routine. 

Mrs. Karen Colins, Twirler sponsor, stated, "I think the 
girls are very fine twirlers and work very well together. 
They put on a fine demonstration when they perform".

Booster Club Organizes 
Lettergirls, Cheerblock 

This year the Booster Club tried something new. They 
organized a formal cheerblock and fifteen lettergirls. This 
idea was put into effect over the summer. The girls who 
spelled Morton Governors included Patty Axtman, Sheri 
Einbinder, Theresa Bell, Sherry Frizzel, Maureen 
Patterson, Michelle Bartoszek, Roberta Mick, Sue 
Kielbasa, Chris Sandlin, Lori Brown, Laura Marosi, Nancy 
Magurany, Karen Kwandras, captain Sandy Knezvich and 
Joanne Lukas. 

Just as cheerleaders, the lettergirls have red sweaters 
and individual letters, and red derbys which say "Morton 
Govs." 

The lettergirls practiced every Wednesday with the 
cheerleaders to improve their routine. 

The lettergirls also have a set of rules to obey. They 
must have a "C" average or better, no D's or F's in 


conduct or effort, and the girls were allowed to miss only 
two football games and three basketball games or she 
would be replaced by an alternate. 

The lettergirls also tried to attend all the girls' volleyball 
and basketball games to help boost the spirit. 

The Booster Club also organized a cheerblock which 
consists of Booster Club members who are not lettergirls. 
Those girls also had an outfit which consisted of a 
Morton Governor T-shirt and a red derby. 

Next year's requirements for lettergirls will include 
being a sophomore, junior, or senior, and writing an 
essay on 'Why you would like to be a Morton Governor 
lettergirl." 

This year, the Booster Club provided a stereo for the 
school from the club's funds. It is used to make study 
halls a little more exciting. 

Booster Club also sponsored the annual Mr. Football 
dance. There, they awarded Aaron Soto, Mr. Baby and 
Mr. Tennis; Jane Herring, Miss Baby and Miss Volleyball. 
Tony Gresham was awarded Mr. Football and Frank 
Johnson obtained the Mr. Cross Country award. 


36 Booster Club 











Juniors "Bite The Dust" 

The annual Powder Puff game is not just a regular flag 
football game, it is a rivalry game between the seniors and 
the juniors. 

To be able to participate, the girls must be a member 
of Booster Club, have a C average or better, and have no 
unexcused absences. 

This year the Powder Puff game took place on 
September 17. 

There was a little more spirit this year, as the seniors 
chose "Another One Bites The Dust," as their theme 
song. The juniors showed their spirit by adding Pam 
Boilek's dog, Max, as their mascot. 

The first touchdown came on the fourth play of the 
game when Barb Sertic scored on a double reverse. The 
second touchdown was scored by Beth Saculla on 
another double reverse. 

Fighting back, the juniors scored a touchdown on a run 


by Sue Vermejan. In quick response senior Shelley 
Geisssendorfer scored six more points on a long pass. The 
juniors still had hope as Sue Vermejan scored yet another 
touchdown, but it wasn't enough. The seniors won 18-12. 

This year, to liven up halftime, the seniors introduced 
Morton's Pom Pon boys, which were seniors Aaron Soto, 
Dan Churilla, Tom Dujan, Bob Seibold, Mike Chance, 

John Marosi, Alex Vermejan, Nick Boyan, Mike Holper, 
John Weis and Ron Fary. They performed to the beat of 
"Macho Man." 

There was also an active participation by seniors Joe 
Zubrenic, Dave Gearman, Kevin Laurion and Gary Allen, 
along with juniors Will Ramirez and Jeff Wilson, who 
acted as cheerleaders for their respective teams. 

This year's Powder Puff coaches were seniors Jeff Jusick, 
Mike Riffle, Jeff Madison, John Keilman, Ed Flernandez, 
and Brian Adams, and juniors Mike Salapski, Ken Paquin, 
Marenis Kansfield, Bob Markovich, Dan Schallenkamp, Jim 
Boland, Jim Joseph and Will Ramirez.

NHS Students Honored; 

NFL Membership Peaks 

It takes more than "brains" to be a member of the 
National Honor Society. NHS is a select group of students 
who are recognized for their participation in activities 
and an overall good character, as well as an outstanding 
grade point average. 

In March of 1980, each senior with a 3.2 grade point 
average, and each junior with a 3.5 grade point average 
received an NHS application. These students listed all 
community and school activities in which they 
participated during high school. The applications were 
turned in and reviewed by the faculty, who chose the 
NHS members. The students chosen were then inducted 
into the National Honor Society at a ceremony in the 


auditorium. After the ceremony, NHS members and their 
parents attended a small reception. 

Through the months of October and April, members of 
the National Forensic League kept their time well- 
occupied with several speech and debate competitions. 
The 20 debaters in NFL this year made this year's team 
the largest team ever. 

The group, sponsored by Mr. Doug Fix, travelled to 
various schools in Indiana, averaging two competitions a 
week. The NFL participated in three different league 
divisions; the Calumet Forensic League division, the 
Indiana High School Forensic League division, and the 
National Forensic League division, which holds the 
season's three final tournaments. 

Varsity debater, Junior John Holland, commented, "We 
had an excellent season this year, and with three of the 
top four varsity debaters returning next year, we are 
looking forward to an even better season."

Students Win Experience 
Through Club Activities 

Sharing a common interest in folk music is the basic 
purpose of the Folk Club. This year the Folk Club, 
sponsored by Mrs. Jan Gillard, began with a poster 
campaign, advertising with posters throughout the school 
building. To improve their guitar techniques, members 
worked with each other and listened to a folk music tape 
from Chicagofest. 

Folk Club members hope to print a folk music 
songbook that was started last spring. A hayride and a 
horseback riding trip are some activities also being 
planned. 

Not all members must know how to play the guitar. 
Many students have participated by working at the 


concession stands and selling tickets for Folk Club coffee 
houses. 

Future Educators in Action helps students who are 
interested in a teaching career to get some practical 
experience. This year, FEA members visited Scott School 
to tutor students in various subjects. FEA member Robin 
Hansen stated, "Through the experience of tutoring, I 
have expanded my skills and interests". 

Members participated in Education Hospitality Day at 
Indiana University Northwest, where they learned what 
I.U. has to offer to future teachers. 

Home Economics Club members were busy throughout 
the year, working on projects that are useful in 
homemaking and other personal interests. The girls had a 
Mother-Daughter supper in early December, serving 
pizza and salad, and observed a macrame demonstration. 
Beauty experts visited the girls during the year, giving 
make-up and hair style demonstrations.

Zoology Club Composes Booklet 


What is the Zoology Club? The Zoology Club is an 
organization for anyone interested in caring for, and 
working with, small animals. 

This year, the Zoology Club composed a booklet on 
how to care for, handle, and deal with animals as pets. 

The club also took a trip to the Field Museum in 
Chicago, where members studied prehistoric animals. 

To be a Caving Club member, one should enjoy 
exploring and crawling through dark and dirty places. 

Members of the Caving Club went on several caving 
trips, where members explored and cleaned out caves. 


"To be a caver one should be tough, rugged, and 
not mind getting dirty," stated Caving Club sponsor 
Mr. Robert Weiss. 

"Caving was a great experience, I really enjoyed it," 
exclaimed Senior Kelly Walsh. 

The Cavers strictly obey the Caving Motto, "We kill 
only time, leave only footsteps, and take only 
pictures." 

The Herpetology Club teaches student how to 
handle, feed, and care for reptiles. The Club also went 
hunting for snakes and other reptiles. Members also 
saw several private collections of reptiles.

Travel Club Takes To The Snow 


Morton's Travel Club visited Woodside Ranch in 
Mautson, Wisconsin again this year, where members 
enjoyed snowmobiling, skiing, sledding and horseback 
riding. 

Members of The Travel Club also went to the 
Chicago Bears football game against Cincinnati, 
shopped at Water Tower Place in Chicago, and had a 
taste of Japanese food. The Club also threw a 
Halloween party at a senior citizen nursing home. 

To help pay for trips and materials, the Travel Club 
sold Carmel and Crunch chocolate bars. 

To be a member of the Audio Visual Club, one must 
go through a training period, and at the end of that 


period the canidate must take a written and oral test 
on handling the A. V. Club equipment. The student 
must also have a "C" average. 

Each year the Club has a Christmas and splash party, 
where old members initiate new members. 

At the end of each year, the members take a 
camping trip to Lemmon Lake, in Cedar Lake, Indiana. 

"Being in the A. V. Club has been a priveledge to 
have been able to serve my fellow students and 
teachers," stated Junior Rod Elish. 

A. V. Club member, junior Rod Elish, feels that it has 
been a privilege to take part in A. V. Club activities, 
serving the teachers and students.

Mortonite Editors Provide 
Features, Sports, Editorials 


Every two weeks an announcement comes over the inter¬ 
com for students to pick up Mortonites in room 238. Stu¬ 
dents hurry through the halls to avoid the rush of the stu¬ 
dents picking up the paper. 

Before the Mortonite can be printed, staffers have editor 
meetings, where the staff decides which stories should be 
written. Then staffers gather beats which are later trans¬ 
formed into stories. 

Pictures have to be taken and developed on time. Then 
staffers have to arrange the page layouts, finish headlines, 
and make sure everything is correct. Finally, the paper is sent 
to the Calumet Press for printing. 


The job of the Managing editor, Tom Miskovich, was writ¬ 
ing editorials and making sure that the staff met their dead¬ 
lines on time. Copy editor. Sue Bardoczi, checked over the 
staff's copy and corrected any errors. 

"Working on the Mortonite was a great experience, The 
students, faculty, and especially the staff all contributed to 
make the Mortonite a first rate publication. I would person¬ 
ally encourage any individual to enroll in this class, and be 
exposed to a professional environment as taught and exem¬ 
plified by Mr. Scott Mark ley," stated Managing editor Tom 
Miskovich.

Top Hat Staff Sums Up Year's Events 


Combine two classes of yearbook editors, advisor Mr. Scott 
Markley, and a lot of work, and the result is the completion 
of the annual Top Hat yearbook. 

The process of creating a yearbook begins with the selection 
of a theme, or an idea that ties in with school life. The 
editors must carry out the theme throughout the book. The 
cover design is then chosen, and the layout designs for the 
pages are begun. One or two editors are assigned U each 
section of the book, and are responsible for the page design, 
copy, headlines, the cropping of pictures, and anything else 
which will appear on the pages in their section. Editors 
must complete an assigned number of layouts for each deadline 
so that copies of the layouts can be sent to the printer. 

The printer returns the proofs so that the staff can make 
any necessary corrections. The proofs are sent back for 


the final printing of the yearbook, which becomes a 
collection of events enabling students to remember the 
school year in years to come. 

The creaton of the yearbook also calls for cooperation 
and ambition of staff members. Members must be willing 
to stay after school and to devote study halls, lunch 
hours, and other spare time to work that needs to be done 
in order to meet the deadline. 

The edge editors, who are beginning staff members, are 
also helpful in the completion of the yearbook. The "edgies" 
assist the editors working on the book by writing captions and 
headlines, typing, and doing other small tasks. The edge 
editors also do assignments which prepare them for higher 
positions on the staff in the future. 


44 Top Hat 














Aside from producing the yearbook, all members of this 
year's staff sold yearbook advertisements to various businesses. 
To help raise funds, staff members were busy selling Morton 
jerseys, baseball shirts, and jackets to students throughout 
the year. Members of the staff were also responsible for 
the advertising and selling of the 1981 Top Hat. Each 
member made posters advertising yearbook sales, and sold 
yearbooks to assigned homerooms. These students also 
distributed the yearbooks at the end of the school year. 

The staff made some changes in this year's book, with senior 
pictures appearing in color for the first time in Top Hat. 
Another new addition to the yearbook was the listing of 
patrons, who contributed funds, that aided in the production 
of the book. 


During the summer, some of the Top Hat staff members 
attended the yearbook workshop at St. Mary's College in 
South Bend, Indiana, where they decided on the theme of 
the book, and agreed upon the cover design, working with 
the plant artist. The staff members reviewed some of the 
more basic rules of yearbook planning, concerning page 
design, writing copy, and selecting pictures, and were also 
introduced to new ideas to use for the yearbook. Those 
who attended the workshop also saw slides and shared ideas 
with staffs from other schools. The entire Top Hat 
staff attended a field trip to Valparaiso University in 
September, where they viewed slides and listened to 
lectures concerning yearbook planning.

The San Diego Chicken discos his way 
down the street as the band performs dur¬ 
ing the Hammond Christmas Parade. 


Band Receives Recognition And Honors 


Morton's band has been more than just an ordinary 
marching band. They have been constantly practicing, 
competing, and performing. Every member put forth ef¬ 
fort to create an organization which was a highly active 
and accomplished group. This can be seen by their many 
activities and the honors the band received during this 
year's and last year's seasons. 

The 1979 Hammond Christmas Parade, which took 
place the Saturday before Thanksgiving, was one of the 
highlights of the year. The band officially escorted the San 
Diego Chicken, who romped down the Hammond streets 
as the band performed. Adding to the excitement of the 
day, the band received a first place for their performance. 
They were judged on musicianship, showmanship, uni¬ 
forms, and marching. As described by Mrs. Kolar, the 
parade was "really a thrilling experience." The band also 
took part in last year's Little League and Memorial Day 


parade. 

The Northern Indiana District Solo and Ensemble con¬ 
test was on the agenda for February 1980. After compet¬ 
ing at Highland Junior High School in the contest, many 
students advanced to the state contest in Indianapolis. 
During the Spring of 1980, Sean Egan took the spotlight in 
individual honors. He was selected as one of the top seven 
clarinetists in Indiana. He first auditioned at Valporaiso 
High School, playing his own musical piece. For his out¬ 
standing performance, Egan was chosen to play in the All- 
State Band. The All-State Band performed a Concert at 
Butler University in Indianapolis. "We had a great band. I 
was pleased with the performance and with my ranking," 
stated Egan. 

The band also entertained listeners at various concerts 
during the year. The Winter Concert enabled listeners to 
relax and enjoy the talent of the band on a cold winter 


Band 

















evening. Student teacher Mr. Jeff Westfall, from Indiana 
University, took temporary charge of the band classes 
during the winter. He arranged the first performance put 
on by the Jazz Band. During the month of May, the band 
visited Scott and Morton Middle Schools with instru¬ 
ments in hand. They put on concerts for the students, 
performing "Scherezade", "Amparito Roca", a Spanish 
number, and many others. The Jazz Band added variety to 
the concerts with several numbers. 

Aside from all the practicing and performing, band 
members were constantly busy organizing and carrying 
out fund raisers. Among the items they sold were Texas 
Citrus Fruits, popcorn, and salt and pepper shakers. With 
the profits brought in by the projects, the band was able 
to pay for trips and order 50 new plumes for their head- 
pieces. Money was put away for music, band scholarships, 
uniforms, and instruments. 

This year, the band was equally active and successful. 
Band members got an early start this summer by staying 
after school, working on the music for football game half 


time performances. They also spent time working with 
the Twirlers and Pom Pon Girls. Autumn fund raisers in¬ 
cluded selling acrylic jewelry and sponsoring paper 
drives. 

With the savings from last year's fund raisers, the band 
visited Six Flags in St. Louis, where they competed in a 
concert band contest. Band members enjoyed themselves 
riding on the rides and touring the city. The group also 
took a trip to Marriott's Great America, where they 
marched in a parade. 

Christmas this year was another big event for the band. 
They were chosen to represent all Hammond bands to 
officially welcome Santa Claus to Woodmar Shopping 
Center. They also marched in the Hammond Christmas 
Parade. 

Mrs. Kolar feels that this season has been especially 
good. She stated, "The kids worked hard, and have tre¬ 
mendous attitudes. In 23 years of teaching, this has been 
one of my top organizations".

the Hammond district. The group was composed of Sen¬ 
iors Dan Leismer, Kurt Kortokrax, Kevin Kolonawski and 
Gary Allen. 

The choir performed in several concerts this year. The 
Christmas concert took place December 17. "The Night 
before Christmas," and "Mount of Olives" Hallelujah by 
Beetoven. 

The choir also had a Pop concert in October and their 
annual Spring concert in April. 

The choir was asked to perform again at the Woodmar 
Country Club's Christmas party in December. 

The Choir and Ensemble performed for several differ¬ 
ent senior citizens, homes, churches, civic organizations 


at the school administration center. The choir also re¬ 
corded a concert which was aired over WJOB radio. 

This year the Ensemble wore new outfits, which were 
made by teachers and parents of the choir. The uniforms 
were, brown, beige or red skirts or pants, with brown, 
beige, or red sweaters. 

To help pay for activities and transportation, the choir 
sold cheese and sausage during the fall. 

The highlight of the season was Kelley Isom's selection 
to the All-State choir. Isom was selected from 28 students 
from the Hammond district to compete at Butler Univer¬ 
sity in Indianapolis for the All-State choir. 

The students selected and performed a solo from their 
own selection in front of the State Music Educators. Isom 
was one of 200 students selected to the All-State choir.

English 

Classes 

Essential 


The academic section at Morton High 
school not only includes the traditional 
classes, but also offers several different 
types of special academic classes, and a 
variety of electives. 

The traditional classes of English, math, 
and science are mainly to refresh, im¬ 
prove or take a step deeper into the ba¬ 
sics. 

In order to graduate a student needs 
eight credits in English, four from re¬ 
quired classes and four from electives. 

Using the right parts of speech, improv¬ 
ing spelling and punctuation and widen¬ 
ing one's vocabulary will only benefit the 
student to speak his language properly 
and with respect. It may all seem like a 
review, but the basic skills are so impor¬ 
tant and many students must master those 
skills before advancing in to the outside 
world. 

Taking more complex classes such as 
advanced composition to further an edu¬ 
cation is essentia] to a student if he is ex¬ 
pecting to attend college. 
















dHablas espanol? Parlez-vous francais?

make sense to you? 

Some people not only feel a need to 
know their own language well, but they 
have the desire to master one of the three 
foreign languages of Spanish, French, 
and German offered at Morton. 

Foreign language plays a big part in 
todays growing world as more and more 
people migrate to the United States. 

In these classes beginning students 
learn simple phrases and verb conjuga¬ 
tion. 

Advanced students start learning actual 
conversation to help them speak fluently. 

Foreign language is needed for such 
jobs as Foreign News Correspondents, in¬ 
terpreters, and foreign embassy jobs, or 
just for the traveler, who visits foreign 
countries. 

As an elective class,reign language is 
offered to any interested student.

What does "taxation without represen¬ 
tation '' mean ? Why is the American dollar 
value constantly decreasing? The answers 
to these questions and many more can be 
found if one just takes the right classes. 

The social studies department offers 
more than the requirements of U.S. Histo¬ 
ry for juniors, and government and eco¬ 
nomics for seniors. The department also 
offers such classes as psychology, sociolo¬ 
gy, and world history. This area of learn¬ 
ing offers a basic, yet wide field of studies 
of the past, present, and the inner studies 
of social life. 

Psychology is a popular elective class in 
the social studies department. It discusses 
what influences a person's personality, 
and Freud's and Skinner's theories about 
the study of the mind. Learning how to tell 
what another is feeling by watching one's 
body movements is a very interesting part 
of the course. 
















Science can be more than hours of long 
studying and long lectures. One can leam 
of interesting things such as amoebas, 
parameciums, genes, and cell division. 

The basic structure of life itself is ex¬ 
plained in the required classes of biology 
and health and safety. For those interested 
in further exploring the mysteries of life, 
Morton offers such elective biology orien¬ 
tated classes as zoology and animal be¬ 
havior. 

Zoology students engage in complex 
experiments pertaining to pulse, respira¬ 
tion, and reflexes of rats, turtles, and frogs. 

Instincts and learned behavior as well 
as survival methods are explored in ani¬ 
mal behavior. 

The growth of trees, plants, flowers, and 
reproduction are just a few topics studied 
in botany. 

After completion of these courses, stu¬ 
dents may decide to further their studies 
with physics, chemistry, and earth sci¬ 
ence.

Students 


In the math department at Morton, stu¬ 
dents not only learn the basics of math, 
but may also desire to further their math 
skills by taking advanced math classes. 

Students are required to take two years 
of math to meet graduation requirements. 
For some students, the required two years 
of math is not enough. In such a case, 
students may take math as a elective class. 

Morton offers six types of math classes 
that can suit almost any students needs. 

The students who are under the general 
studies program are only required to take 
general math. General math students 
learn the basics in math. 

Algebra and geometry are the required 
math classes, under the college prepara¬ 
tory program. 

In algebra and geometry, students 
study such things as angles, theroems, 
and equations. 

Some students do not plan to go to col¬ 
lege, but plan to go into a business career. 
These students may wish to take the of¬ 
fered business math classes. 




56 Math 



















The business classes in the high schools 
are just as important to learning as English 
or mathematics. The many classes offer 
techniques useful in the business world as 
well as in the private sector. 

Typing, shorthand, notehand, and 
cherical practice teach a student the basic 
rudiments of secretarial work. Personal 
typing teaches a student the basics of the 
skill for those who do not wish to enter the 
business field. 

The mathematical part of this field is just 
as important. Accounting teaches how to 
keep books and perform other mathemat¬ 
ical jobs. Another is general business, 
which includes how to keep a checking 
account and the importance of different 
types of insurances. 

Clerical practice benefits a student 
planning on working in a office, as a sec¬ 
retary, by teaching the student how to 
operate office machinery.

Sound familiar? It may, if a student has 
home economics. Home economics pre¬ 
pares the student, male as well as female, 
for future homemaking. As hard as it may 
seem to believe, many people are lost in 
the kitchen, or when they are sitting be¬ 
hind a sewing machine. 

The purpose of home economics is to 
help people with the problems of domes¬ 
tic chores in such things as proper dress, 
how to cook, and cleanliness. 

Today, this class is especially benefit- 
ting to men since so many women are 
working. After high school or college, 
men will either be in the military, married, 
or staying a bachelor, which means they 
are still responsible for themselves and 
will need to know the essentials to keep a 
house running smoothly.

gained by Michelle

Art provides students with an opportu¬ 
nity to express their creativeness. The pro¬ 
gram gives the students the basics re¬ 
quired to go on into one of the most com¬ 
petitive areas of the "artistic" world. 

The starting point in the art program 
serves somewhat like a foundation pro¬ 
gram as learning the art elements of lines, 
shapes, color, texture, value, and space. 
When one completes this program he 
may advance. 

Free hand drawing of simple objects is 
accomplished in the second year, along 
with geometric forms of spheres, cubes, 
and pyramids. 

When a student becomes a junior, he is 
involved in print making, drawing on lino¬ 
leum, making sculptures with clay, and 
learning to cast them for reproduction. 

The final touches in the program in¬ 
volve acrylic and water paintings, and 
learning to do alphabetic lettering, which 
completes the four year art program at 
Morton.

All students are required to take one 
year of gym to meet graduation require¬ 
ments. 

Students are taught the basic skills in 
such sports as tennis, golf, football, and 
basketball. 

Both the boys and girls gym classes go 
through a physical fitness course, which 
consists of a 50 yard dash, doing sit-ups, 
chin-ups, and the shuttle run. 

At the end of the course, one boy and 
one girl are chosen out of all the classes as 
the most physically fit. 

Physical education class also required 
each student to take a portion of swim¬ 
ming. The swimming classes are divided 
into three groups according to students 
skills. Group one is for the beginner, 
group two is for the intermediate, and 
group three is for the advanced students. 

Last year a new class, Advanced P.E., 
was added to Morton's electives. Ad¬ 
vanced P.E. is designed for the most athle¬ 
tically inclined student.

"Your homework assignment is to do 
geometry problems 1-50 page 127." 
"Write a composition on student behav¬

Those assignments are just part of the 
normal academic classes at Morton. But 
have you heard you teacher saying "To¬ 
night practice the 'School Song’ and 
'Swinging on Parade'." 

Morton's music department has a vari¬ 
ety of classes including band, music histo¬ 
ry, music theory, and several choirs. 

Part of the band class includes perform¬ 
ing at the football and basketball games, 
and marching in several parades during 
the school year. 

Morton s concert choir and mixed choir 
classes have expressed true talents by ap¬ 
pearing in public concerts. 

Extra-curricular music groups such as 
Barber Shop and Jazz Quartet highlight 
Morton s musical department.

Varsity 

Football 



There is one word to describe the 1980 varsity foot¬ 
ball season ... disappointing!!! The Morton players 
were confident of a good season. Who would have 
known that the season would go as it did. 

The factor that worked heavily against the Gover¬ 
nors was the injuries. First on the injured list was 
senior Brian Adams with a dislocated thumb that kept 
him out for four weeks. Next came senior Dennis 
Zaremba with a back injury that kept him out of the 
Highland game and three weeks later put him out for 
the season. 

Injured in the Highland game, senior Scott Thomp¬ 
son broke his ankle and senior John Keilman tore the 
ligaments in his knee. Senior Tony Gresham split his 
chin during the Roosevelt game and senior Jeff 
Schneider tore the ligaments in his knee the follow¬ 
ing week, keeping both out of the Hammond High 
game. Senior Mike Riffle was the last player on the 
injured list with torn ligaments in his ankle. 

When it came to winning, the Governors came 
short of their goal. Morton beat Hammond Tech in 
the annual Homecoming game 26-6. The following 
week they came through again by beatingE.C. Wash¬ 
ington 21-12. The victories ended at that point and 
Morton finished the season at 2-8. 

The bright spots of the season were senior Tom 
Ramberg being named conference kicker and honor¬ 
able mention linebacker and Gresham being named 
honorable mention fullback. Ramberg averaged 30 
yards per punt, 48 yards per kick-off, and had a total 
of 52 solo tackles and 43 assists on the season. Gresh¬ 
am carried the bcdl 99 times for 533yards, a veraging 5 
yards per carry. He also scored 3 touchdowns. 

Seniors Jeff Oros and Gresham were named most 
valuable players by their teammates and Adams was 
named team captain.

The 1980 Junior Varsity 
football team followed in the 
footsteps of the undefeated 
Junior Varsity Team of 1979, by 
compiling a very impressive 7-1 
record. 

Morton opened up against 
Munster and defeated the 
Mustangs 14-6. From there the 
Governors moved on to Gavit 
and suffered their only loss, 14- 
7. 

The Governors battled the 
next game out with Clark and, 
as usual, came out on top 28-7. 
Bishop Noll proved a worthy 
opponent as the Warriors gave 
Morton a run for their money. 
Morton went ahead in the fourth 
quarter to win, but 
unfortunately sophomore Dan 
Gresham was injured and out for 
the remainder of the season 
Morton won by forfeit over 
Roosevelt and went on to play 
Hammond High. The Hammond 
High game was tough but 
Morton put it all together and 
won 13-0. 

Defense was a strong point in 
the Morton team this year, 
giving up only 6 point per game. 
Stated Coach Hunt, “Considering 
the size and number of linemen, 

I think they did one heck of a 
good job. ”

The 1980 Freshman Football 
Team compiled a 7-1 record and 
earned the honor of being Confer¬ 
ence Champs. 

The Governors opened up 
against the very tough Andrean 
team. The game was a hard 
fought battle and when the game 
was over, Morton had lost 6-14, 
the only loss of the season. 

In the second game, which was 
against East Chicago Washing¬ 
ton, the Governors claimed a 24-6 
victory. Tezh was next but be¬ 
cause of a shortage of players, the 
Tigers had to forfeit the game. 

Clark followed on the schedule 
and Morton beat them 14-0. Bish¬ 
op Noll was the next opponent 
and the meeting was probably the 
toughest of the year. Morton won 
14-12. 

Morton, now evidently on the 
roll, went on to beat East Chicago 
Roosevelt 16-0, Hammond High 
14-6, and Gavit 14-8 in the next 
three games. 

“Both Coach Maicher and I real¬ 
ly enjoyed working with the boys 
and we were very pleased with 
the outcome of the season, ’’stated 
Hea Coach Fred Kepler.

Cross 

Country 



The cross country team underwent a drastic 
change in 1980. For the first time in Morton’s history, 
girls participated on the squad. 

The girls who competed along with the boys this 
year were freshman Diane Frost, and sophomores 
LaRetha Bright well and Peggy Stevens. Girls com¬ 
peted against boys in the conference meets, but in 
regionals, competed solely against girls. 

The year overall with a record of 2-6 was not a 
success, but individual accomplishments over¬ 
shadowed the season. 

Senior Frank Johnson was the steadiest runner for 
the team. Johnson competed in the sectionals and 
took a 6th place which qualified him for regionals. In 
regionals, Johnson placed 16th which was very re¬ 
spectable. The talented senior broke the school re¬ 
cord in the 5000 meter run with a time of 16.53. John¬ 
son was also the captain of the team and was chosen 
Most Valuable Player. 

Freshman Diane Frost was the other outstanding 
runner. Frost went to regionals and claimed a 10th 
place which enabled her to compete in the state meet. 
In state finals, Frost came in 81st out of an over¬ 
whelming number of runners. The young freshman 
broke the school record in the 3000 meter run with a 
time of 11.52.

Boy’s Tennis 



The number one doubles team of junior Vince 
Soto and senior Ron Fary complimented the boys 
tennis 1980 season. The duo captured the number 
one doubles conference championship by defeating 
Noll in the final match. 

Coach Bob Weiss stated, “I put Soto and Fary 
together at the beginning because they looked like 
they had potential and could play well together. ” 

Coach Weiss also added, “They improved steadily 
all season long which enabled them to win the 
conference championship. Putting those two 
together was the best decision I made all year. ” 

The Governors started off the season with a 
disappointing loss to Calumet, 3-2. The racketmen 
then started their streak which led them into the 
Bishop Noll match with a conference record of 3-0 
and in a tie for first place. 

Unfortunately, Morton suffered their only loss in 
conference to Bishop Noll, 3-2, which cost them the 
championship. 

Coach Bob Weiss had this to say about the 
match. “The loss to Bishop Noll was a 
disappointment, but because the boys had worked 
hard and played very well, I didn't feel bad.” 

The Governors ended up the season with an 
overall record of -4 and a 6-1 mark in conference 
play. 

In the first round of sectionals, the racketmen 
defeated Clark, 4-1. The Govs were then beaten by 
Munster, 5-0, in the second round of sectional play. 

Number one singles players Aaron Soto was the 
captain of the team and was voted most valuable 
by his fellow teammates. Soto stated, Although 
we were upset about not winning conference, I 
thought we had a great season. ”

The 1980 girls volleyball team is the first team at 
Morton since 1965 that has competed in the state 
finals. 

The Governors started their road to the state 
finals by winning the sectionals. 

In the first game of sectionals, The Lady Govs 
defeated Gavit. Morton then went on to capture the 
sectional by gaining victories over East Chicago 
Washington and by beating Bishop Noll in the 
finals. 

The Governors trampled Benton Central in the 
first round of regional play by deafeating them 15- 

7. The team had a tough time with Highland, but 
were able to defeat the Trojans 15-6, 9-15, and 16- 
14 in the regional finals. 

The Lady Govs then traveled to Indianapolis to 
square off against Twin Lakes in the state finals. In 
the first-game the girls went ahead of their 
opponent 11-7. But then Twin Lakes outscored the 
girls 8-1 to win the game, 15-12. In the second 
game, the Governors fought to tie Twin Lakes at 8- 

8, but ended up losing the game 15-9. 

Coach Aletta Hicks commented, “We were just 
as good as Twin Lakes, but we didn’t play as well 
as we were capable. But I am still very proud of 
our girls. ’’ 

The team ended up the season with an overall 
record of 31-2. The Governors also captured the 
conference championship with a mark of 8-0. 

The Lady Govs were also fortunate to have two 
girls chosen to the All-Lake Shore Conference 
Team. Selected to the first team were senior Tina 
Sknerski and junior Sue Vermejan. Seniors Jane 
Herring and Monette Martone and sophomores 
Shirley Starkey and Carrie Reid received 
honorable mentions.

The 1980-81 J. V. volleyball 
team did exceptionally well this 
season as the Governors won 18 
and lost only two of their 
matches. 

Starting with the first match, 
the Lady Governors got on a hot 
streak, winning 10 of their first 
13 matches and placing second 
in the other three. 

The Gavit game was the 
toughest of the season. All three 
games of the match were close, 
but Morton managed to edge out 
the Gladiators in the third game, 
17-15. Commenting on the game, 
Coach Miriam Costanza stated, 
‘‘Gavit had a more talented 
team, but teamwork and 
determination to win gave the 
Govs the edge. ” 

Commenting on the season, 
Coach Costanza replied, “All 
players were evenly skilled, and 
the reason for their success was 
that they played together as a 
team. ” 

Outstanding players on the 
team were sophomores Jackie

The 1980-81 girls J.V. 
basketball season proved rather 
disappointing as the Lady 
Governors ended with a 6 win 
and 11 loss record. 

The first win of the season 
came in the second game as 
Morton beat the Clark Pioneers 
30-21. Next came Hammond 
Tech, and the Governors beat 
the Tigers 29-17. 

Seven games later, Morton 
battled it out with Bishop Noll 
and just barely squeezed by with 
a score of 24-23. After playing a 
tough game, the Governors got a 
break as they played and easily 
beat the Munster Mustangs 32- 
18. 

One of the big disappoint¬ 
ments of the season was the loss 
of the J. V. Tournament. Morton 
won the first game against E.C. 
Roosevelt by forfeit. The Lady 
Governors next defeated the 
Whiting Oilers 24-20. In the 
championship game, Morton lost 
by two points to the Bishop Noll 
Warriors. 

During the season, sophomore 
Maribeth Gruener was the 
leading scorer. Sophomore Sue 
Zawadski was the leading free- 
throw shooter.

A 7 win, 13 loss total was the end result of the 1980- 
81 Girls Varsity basketball season. 

Recapping the season, the Lady Governors won 
their first game when they played Clark. The Gover¬ 
nors rallied and won 67-34. The next game the Gover¬ 
nors once again won, this time against Hammond 
Tech. The final score was 63-34. 

The Griffith game was the next game Morton won, 
47-40. In the invitational tournament, Morton won 
against Calumet in the first game 41-35, but lost to the 
Hobart Brickies 58-52 in the championship games. 

Wirt was the next victim of the Governors as Mor¬ 
ton edged them out 49-45. Against arch rival Gavit, 
the Lady Governors played tough and came out on 
top 47-43. With a 6-12 record, Then Lady Governors 
went into the sectionals on a 6-12 record. 

The Governors opened up the sectionals against 
Hammond Tech. The game was not too much of a 
challenge for Morton, as the Governors defeated the 
Tigers by a score of67-35. Moving on into the tourna¬ 
ment, the Governors played Hammond High. The 
Wildcats proved to be a worthy opponent as they put 
up a real battle with Morton. The last few minutes in 
the fourth quarter told the story though as the lead 
sea-sawed back and forth. When the buzzer went off, 
Hammond High was ahead 62-60. Morton had lost a 
real heart-breaker. 

Commenting on the season, Coach Aletta Hicks 
stated, “It could have been better then it was with a 
little more work."

Basketball 


The highlight of Morton’s Varsity 1980-81 basket¬ 
ball season was capturing the Hammond Tournament 
crown. 

In the first game of the tournament, the Governors 
defeated Gavit 61-49. In the finals, Morton upset the 
Hammond High Wildcats, 52-45, to win the tourney. 

Coach Russ Marcinak stated, ‘‘We won the tourna¬ 
ment because we didn ’t make that many mistakes and 
our shooting was real accurate.” 

The Govs started off the season slow by winning 
only one out of the first seven games. The team’s lone 
victory in this stretch was over Griffith, 67-62. 

The squad then won their next five out of nine 
games including the Hammond Tournament. 

Morton ended up the season with an overall mark of 
6-14 and a 2-6 record in conference play. 

In sectionals, Morton reached the championship 
game only to suffer a heart-breaking loss to last 
year’s Hammond Sectional Champ, Andrean, 71-68. 
Andrean was also rated 9th in the state at the end of 
the 1981 regular season and made it to the final four in 
the 1980 state tournament. 

In order to get to the finals the team beat Gavit, 69- 
56, and revenged an earlier loss to Tech by defeating 
the Tigers, 63-58. 

"We played tough throughout the entire sectional 
but we really played well against Andrean consider¬ 
ing they had the height advantage over us.” com¬ 
mented Coach Russ Marcinak. 

Junior Tony Vermejan and senior Mike Holper 
were chosen to the Lake Shore All-Conference team. 
Holper also received the honor of being named to 
Academic All-State Honorable Mention.

J.V. 

Basketball 



It was an up and down year for 
the Morton 1980-81 boys J. V. bas¬ 
ketball squad as the team finished 
with an overall record of 5-13. In 
Lake Shore Conference play, the 
Govs ended up at 1-7. 

The Governors suffered two 
tough losses at the beginning of 
the season to Lake Central, 44-37, 
and Highland, 44-42. Then the 
team went on to win their next 
five out of eight games by defeat¬ 
ing Griffith, 27-26, Hobart, 53-31, 
Crown Point, 31-30, Whiting, 50- 
48, and Portage, 58-55. 

In the conference tournament, 
the Governors were knocked out 
in the first round by East Chicago 
Roosevelt by the score of 67-51. 

The team was playing well until 
the loss of sophomore Austin Bar¬ 
rett to the varsity team. This was 
the major reason that the team 
suffered in its last eight games of 
the season. 

Improvements were made as 
the season progressed, but the 
boys will have to work harder to 
compete at the varsity level.” 
stated J. V. Coach Greg Jancich.

Freshman 

Basketball 



Despite losing key players for 
various lengths of time 
throughout the season due to 
ineligibilities, injuries and 
illnesses, the 1980-81 Freshman 
Basketball team players worked 
very hard in practices and 
games to improve their team 
and individual skills. 

Two or more key players 
missed games. Three or more 
players missed eight games. 

Five key players missed two 
games. 

“.Inconsistent performance, 
inability, on numerous occasions 
to limit our opponents to only 
one shot per possession, 
frequent ball-handling errors 
against pressure defenses, 
inability to capitilize on 
numerous 3 on 1, 3 on 2, or 2 on 
1 advantages, inconsistent 
defensive performance, and a 
high absence rate, all 
contributed to minimize our 
success, “stated Coach Rick 
Volbrecht. 

Jim Balzco was leading scorer 
and rebounder for the “A ” 
squad with 239 points and 167 
rebounds respectively. The 
leading scorer and rebounder for 
the “B” squad was Keith 
Kessler with 74 points and 55 
rebounds.

Wrestling 


This year’s wrestling season was not one of great 
victories, but more of learning. The team consisted 
of one senior, four juniors, seven sophomores, and 
15 freshmen. Due to the great number of freshmen 
who were not experienced in high school 
competition, the team ended it’s season with a 
dismal 0-9 record. 

However there were a few bright spots during 
the season which included juniors Roger and 
Cleveland Travis and freshman Ruben Urbano. 

Through this year’s tough season 98 lb. Roger 
managed to compile an 18-8 record which also 
included a first place in sectionals at Hammond 
High and a fourth place in regionals which were at 
Calumet. 

One hundred twelve pound Cleveland Travis also 
had an extremely exciting year with a 14-7 overall 
season record. Cleveland also earned third place 
ribbons from both conference and sectional 
tournaments. 

One promising grappler for next year’s season is 
145 lb. Ruben Urbano did well for his first year in 
high school wrestling with a 4-3 record. 

This year’s grapplers compiled 8th, 4th and 16th 
places at the varsity conference, sectionals and 
regionals, respectively. 

Although the season was not the best on record, 
this year’s team still showed a great deal of good 
sportsman like conduct. The team never looked 
back at their loses but more on the hopes of future 
victories. “We are the team of the future,” stated 
Coach Fred Kepler when asked to comment on this 
year’s team.

The 1980-81 swim season started out well as the 
tankmen won their first eight meets. 

In the first three meets, Morton won easily 
against Gary Wirt, Hammond High, and Gary West 
Side by scores of 125-44, 136-36, and 123-49 
respectively. Morton won their fourth meet to the 
Griffith Panthers by a forfeit. Gary Mann was next 
and the Governors once again easily won by a 
score of 138-27. 

The next meet against Lake Central was the 
toughest and closest match of the season. Morton 
barely pulled it off by a score of 87-85. 

The tankmen easily won the next two meets 
against Lew Wallace, 120-45, and Clark 128-38. 
From this point on, Morton, because of sickness, 
began to go downhill, as the tankmen won only 
two of their last six meets. 

In the conference meet, Morton placed second 
behind state champion Bishop Noll. During the 
sectionals, the Governors placed fifth. 

Three records were broken. Senior Kevin 
Brownwell set a new record in the 500-yard 
freestyle with a time of 5:04.5. Junior Dave Rycerz 
set two records, one in the 200 yard-individual 
medely with a 2:09.4 time; the other in the 100 
yard-breast stroke with a time of 1:05. 

On January 31, at the Lake Shore Conference 
meet, junior Darla Price placed first in the diving 
competition. In all dives, Darla scored 253.75 
points. Darla’s first place finish was the only first 
place for the Governors in the meet. Despite her 
performance, Darla was unable to dive in the 
sectionals because girls are not allowed to 
participate in the sectionals. 



Junior Darla Price uses complete 
concentration in striving for a 
first place finish in diving.

Boys Track 



The 1980 track team fared pretty well as Morton 
ended with a 5-5 season record. 

The biggest meets of the year were the Lake Shore 
Conference meets. One was indoor, the other was 
outdoor. In both meets the Governors placed third out 
of nine teams. 

In the Lake Central Relays, Morton did a little bet¬ 
ter than 50% as the Governors placed third out of six 
teams. But in the Calumet and Hammond High Re¬ 
lays Morton did not do so well placing seventh and 
sixth out of eight teams respectively. 

This year the new all purpose track was finished 
enabling Morton to host a few meets. The first meet 
was the Morton Relays. Proud of their new track, the 
trackmen showed what they were made of as they 
placed second out of eight teams. 

In the tri-meets Morton placed second against Bish¬ 
op Noll and Lowell, second against East Chicago Roo¬ 
sevelt and Hammond High, lost to Bishop Noll and 
Hammond High and beat Hammond Clark and Whit¬ 
ing. 

In sectional action, Chris Polochak; Hurdles, Ron 
Bradner; 800 meter run, Stan Potter; discus and Roy 
Perez; long jump competed in their respective events. 

Of the four who competed in the sectionals, Roy 
Perez was the only one to qualify for regionals. Perez 
qualified with a fourth place jump of 20’4h ”, 

Other trackmen who headed the 1980 team were A1 
Frost and Bill Brightwell mile; Jeff Juscik;pole vault; 
Mike Price; high jump; Frank Johnson; 880; and Lalo 
Martinez and Dan Churilla, two mile.

Having a rather challenging season, the 1980 varsi¬ 
ty girls track team ended up with an even 4-4-0 re¬

The best performance of the season came in the 
third match of the year when Morton placed fourth in 
a 9 team meet. Morton also did well in a triangular 
meet as the Governors placed second with state 
ranked Lake Central and Hebron. 

The indoor Lake Shore Conference Meet was a suc¬ 
cessful event for the lady Governors. Morton came up 
with a fourth place finish. 

Morton started the outdoor season by winning the 
first two double duel meets in a row. Hitting a slump, 
Morton lost the next meet but came back to win the 
next two. 

The last meet of the season was the outdoor Lake 
Shore Conference Meet. Out of nine teams, Morton 
placed fifth. 

Darla Price, Nancy Magurany, and Janet Rut- 
kowski represented the Governors at the sectionals. 
Of the three girls, Nancy Magurany was the only one 
to make it to the regionals.

The Girls Tennis team’s 1980 
season was a year of inconsisten¬ 
cy. The Governors started off the 
season with a 7-0 loss to highly 
regarded Munster. Then in the 
second match of the season, the 
girls got on track by defeating 
Lake Shore Conference foes Bish¬ 
op Noll and in the third match Ga- 
vit, both by score of 5-0. 

The Governors went on to de¬ 
feat East Chicago Roosevelt 3-2, 
Clark 4-1, and Hammond Tech 5- 
0 . 

Although the team’s overall re¬ 
cord was 5-6, the Governors had a 
conference record of 5-2 allowing 
Morton to claim a second place in 
the standings. 

The highlight of the year was 
number one singles player senior 
Faith Marcinek. Marcinek be¬ 
came the first girl in Morton’s his¬ 
tory to capture the Lake Shore 
Conference Championship. The 
talented senior also had the honor 
of being named to the All-Lake 
Shore Conference team.

If one meet did not mean a 
whole season to some of Morton’s 
Athletic teams, it did to the 1980 
Golf Team. The Governors went 
into the Lake Shore Conference 
meet at the end of the year in a tie 
for first with cross-town rival Ga- 
vit. 

The meet would decide the win¬ 
ner takes all. Unfortunately, Mor¬ 
ton lost to Gavit thus ending up in 
second place in conference with a 
13-1 record and an overall record 
of 13-5. 

The Governors placed 14th in 
the Renessalaer Invitational and 
came in 6th place in the Lake 
Hills Invitational. In sectionals, 
the team took an 8th place. 

Senior Bob Soto was the only 
member of the team to qualify for 
regionals, however, he did not 
place in the event. 

“We had a lot of fun during the 
year, although we did not finish 
first in conference. I thought we 
should have.” commented Coach 
Fred Kepler.

Winning 5 of 10 games in a tough conference using 
a team made up of sophomores and juniors, seems to 
give the impression that a promising future is close at 
hand. 

The season started out slowly as Morton tied Tech 
2-2. In the next 4 games Morton lost to Noll 4-6, East 
Chicago Washington 2-4, and Munster 1-5, but over¬ 
powered Gavit 5-1. 

By mid-season, Morton was 1-3-1, but this slow start 
did not discourage the Governors as they won three 
in a row, beating Clark 9-0, Tech 2-1, and Hammond 
High 3-0. 

The key game of the season was against E.C. Wash¬ 
ington. Had the kickmen won the game, they would 
have clinched first place. Because of the heart break¬ 
ing 2-4 loss, Morton ended up in third place. 

In the Lake Shore Conference Tournament, Morton 
opened up with Hammond High and a 2-1 victory 
over the Wildcats enabled the Governors to move on 
and play Bishop Noll in the semi-final game. The Gov¬ 
ernors suffered a disappointing 1-2 over-time loss, be¬ 
ing knocked out of the tournament. The season re¬ 
cord of the kickmen ended at 5-4-1. 

The lone senior on the squad, three year veteran 
Phil Markovich led the team in scoring and was 
named Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Ju¬ 
niors Tom Ramberg, Scott Thompson, Jeff Oros, Sean 
Egan, Mario Matakovich, and Joe Guerra return to 
head the 1981 team. 

“Despite the four losses, the season was not a total 
loss because the younger players got a lot of exper¬ 
ience for the upcoming season” stated team Co-Cap¬ 
tain Tom Ramberg.

Morton’s baseball team 


A four way tie for first place might seem almost 
impossible for some people, but not to Morton’s varsi¬ 
ty baseball team. The team had to share the Lake 
Shore Conference crown with three other teams; 
Bishop Noll, East Chicago Roosevelt, and Hammond 
High. 

At the midpoint of the season, the Governors were 
9-2. The team looked like they would sweep the rest 
of the season and end up on top all alone. 

Morton then had two tough defeats against E.C. 
Roosevelt 4-1, and Hammond High 3-2. The Gover¬ 
nors never did seem to recover from there two crucial 
losses. 

The team ended up the season with a record of 14-8 
and a mark of 10-6 in conference play. 

In sectionals, the Governors lost to E.C. Roosevelt, 
7-0 in first round play. 

Senior Scott Lush led the team with a .342 batting 
average and he also led the team in RBI’s with 19. 

“Our original goal was to win conference and we 
achieved this, so the season was a success,” stated 
Head Coach Jack Georgas. Coach Georgas also com¬ 
mented “Anytime you win something its a success. It 
kept our winning streak live.”

Enrollment Decreases, 


Orloff, Luketic Retire 


The 1980-81 school year brought 
concern to many faculty members 
due to the declining enrollment. 
Teachers with the least senority 
were faced with the task of 
traveling from room to room and 
two teachers even worked in two 
different schools. 

Mr. Leo Orloff will retire in June 
after 36 years of public teaching. 
Mr. Orloff spent the last six years 
of his career teaching English at 
Morton. Before entering public 
teaching, Mr. Orloff served 4 Vi 
years in the military, two of which 
he taught as an instructor. Mr. 
Orloff attended Northern Illinois 
University. 

Mr. Nick Luketic, who retired 
from coaching last fall will 
however continue teaching at 
Morton. Mr. Luketic, who coached 
all 27 years at Morton, was the 
head football coach for the last 5 
years. 

The year also brought about 
note worthy accomplishments. 
Journalism Teacher, Mr. Scott 
Markley, won “Best Amateur 
Slide” in a photo contest, 
sponsored by the South Country 
Camera Club in Crown Point. Mrs. 
Karen Collins, Home Ec teacher, 
won second place in the Times 
caseral contest; and Mr. Cliff 
Snow, Industrial Arts Teacher, took 


first place trophy for the best post¬ 
war pick up truck at the 22nd 
Annual World of Wheels Auto 
Show at McCormick Place. 

Three new teachers joined 
Morton's faculty this year . .. Mrs. 
Mary Lacy, Mrs. Debbie McCarthy, 
and Miss Sheri Williams. 

Mr. Michael Bandura, who taught 
8 of his 27 years in the Hammond 
School System at Morton, passed 
away in June of 1980. A 
moratorium to Mr. Bandura 
appears on Page 109 of this book.

In Memory Of . . 

Mr. Michael Bandura passed away Thursday, June 12, 1980 
at Community Hospital in Munster. 

Mr. Bandura was a Veteran of World War II, and a lifetime 
resident of the Calumet Region. 

He was involved in the Hammond school system for 27 
years, until his death. In September of 1953 he began his 
teaching career at Riverside Elementary School. Mr. Bandura 
resigned his teaching position in June of 1958 for various 
health reasons. 

He returned to his teaching career in 1959, at Harding 
Elemenetary School, as a sixth grade teacher. After Harding 
Elementary, he joined the Merrillville school system and 
taught there for three years, before joining Morton Senior High 
School in 1966 as a counselor. 

In September of 1972 he returned to the classroom as a 
Morton business teacher until the summer of 1980 when he 
passed away. 

Mr. Bandura is survived by his wife, Leanor, two daughters, 
Cynthia (Mark) Richardson of Munster, Kathleen at home, and 
one son, Michael, at home. 

A memorial fund was raised through the school for Mr. 
Bandura last fall and a plaque will be placed in the business 
department in his memory. The remaining money will be used 
for scholorships. 

Business Department Chairman, Mr. Ernest Alexander, 
said, "We were fraternity brothers in college. He was a very 
good family man and very much devoted to his work. Mike 
was a terrific person." 























Memories of the Way We Were 


June is the time of year when 
everyone thinks back to their 
accomplishments and failures 
throughout the year. For the senior 
class, it is a time for looking back on 
all the good memories and blotting 
out the bad ones of the past four 
years. 

The four years at Morton have 
molded the class into young adults, 
though sometimes the students do not 
realize it. During freshmen year, 
becoming seniors seemed so far away, 
and it was hard to stay out of the 
way of the seniors at that time. 

It is hard to think back to all of 
the people that have helped over 
these four years-the teachers, 
counselors and, of course, good 
friends. 

Some seniors believed that their 
last year was to be spent having fun 


and a time to not worry about grades. 
Others believe that it was the time to 
work extra hard to make it to college. 
Some students graduated in January 
and were able to get on with their 
lives and new interests. 

This year’s seniors got together and 
put all their efforts forth to construct 
the winning homecoming float. This 
year’s homecoming queen was Sue 
Stirling, escorted by Alex Vermajan. 

The class officers along with the 
sponsors, Mr. Mike Harris and Ms. 
Diane Vasquez, decided on a mixture 
of red and grey for the caps and 
gowns; red for the girls, and grey for 
the boys. The sponsors were a great 
help to the seniors over these past 
four years. 

All seniors have different goals set 
for themselves after graduation. For 
some, marriage is just around the 


corner; for others, college and job 
plans are in the making; but others 
are still undecided as to which 
direction their lives are going. 

Since June has arrived so quickly, 
we have been Filled with a mixture of 
sadness and joy. These last few days 
have been the last time we walked 
down these halls, and the last time 
the whole class was together. Now we 
will be separated and Find new friends 
and interests. 

All of the memories of the past 
four years cannot be erased. All the 
homework, detentions, and teachers 
that were impossible to get along with 
will never be forgotten. Also, the 
good memories such as football and 
basketball games, dances, assemblies, 
favorite teachers and friends will stay 
fresh in the minds of many for years 
to come. 


Class officers and sponsors: Secretary Barb Serlic, Mr. Michael Harris. 
Ms. Diane Vasquez, President Alex Vermejan, and Vice-President Sue 
Stirling.

Senior Summaries-131 


































School Year Soars 
For Class Of '82 

Junior year is the turning point of a person's high 
school career, as each person sees how much they have 
grown in areas that once were unimaginable to that 
individual. Juniors have matured in the three years and 
are now making and coping with decisions they must 
make. There's a feeling of independence, which was not 
easily felt in the past two years. 

Junior year is like being in the middle of things, not 
as underclassmen or upperclassmen but just as an 
observer of the year's happenings. Besides being an 
observer, they are also given the chance to put their 
talents to work in planning such activities as the Junior- 
Senior Prom. 

Preparations were made for the 1981 Prom "Moonlight 
Roses," which took place at the Wicker Park Social 
Center on April 24. To pay for the expenses, juniors sold 
candy, gifts for Christmas, carnations for Valentines 
Day, and the class had a paper drive. 

Junior class sponsor, Mrs. Shirley Rotenberg said, 
"Some students in the class are good, hard working, and 
responsible people. They take care of things beautifully 
and the ones who come to the meetings are enthusiastic." 

The 1980-81 junior girls were given the chance to 
compete in the annual Powder Puff game. Although they 
were defeated by the seniors, 12-18, the juniors never lost 
their spirit. 

The Class of '82 now looks forward to becoming 
seniors. But as soon as their senior year begins, it must 
also come to an end. In their own way the juniors will 
be saying farewell to Morton High, leaving behind four 
years of memories not easily forgotten.

Sophomores Plan 
For Future Goals 



BASS THOMAS 
BEAVERS JAMES 


When the summer ended and the first day of school 
started, the sophomores seemed to feel that this year 
would be easier now that they were familiar with the 
school rules and especially since they finally knew their 
way around the school itself. 

Class rings were one of the things the class members 
looked forward to most during the sophomore year. They 
also enjoyed helping in some of the activities planned in 
hopes of a successful Junior-Senior prom in 1982. 

The schedule of events included two car washes during 
the summer, a candy sale in January, a roller skating 
party in February, and the selling of school pins, which 
were all successfully accomplished during the school 
year. 

Class sponsor Mr. Jeff Hayden said, "Those of the 
students that participated in helping the sophomore class 
along showed great effort and tremendous support". Mr. 
Hayden also hopes to see more of the class of '83 start 
showing an interest and begin helping the members 
achieve their goals during the next two years. 

Homecoming was not a happy time for the sophomore 
class, as their float placed last in the Homecoming 
parade. 

Prom is scheduled to take place April 23, 1982, at the 
Wicker Park Social Center. The theme has not been 
determined.

Frosh Adjust To 
New Beginning 

The first day of school. That's what the freshman fear 
the most. High school, of course, is filled with many 
things that a freshman would not have experienced 
during their previous years of school. 

Finding the right room was one of the main problems 
for a freshman, along with all the embarrassment of 
walking into the wrong room on impulse just to get out 
of the halls. One of the many wonders of being a 
freshman is when they too can be considered an 
upperclassmen and not the lowest mark on the totem 
pole. 

Freshman year also has its good points, like meeting 
new friends and teachers. It also gives them a chance to 
do the things they enjoy doing the most joining club 
activities and receiving a free lunch hour to go to 
McDonalds, Taco Bell, Conveninent or even to sit in the 
school cafeteria. Along with Homecoming, two honored 
freshman were elected to be attendants. 

The class sponsor, Mrs. Colantha Hill, said, "Those of 
the freshman that I have been able to associate with has 
shown great potential and have the ability to succeed in 
reaching their financial goals." Their fun raising 
activities consisted of a candy sale, rummage sale, and a 
can good drive. Mrs. Hill hopes that more ideas for fund 
raising projects will come about.

Because tomorrow is just

future will depend a lot on 
the decisions you make 
today. 

Your career goal is prob¬ 
ably the single most impor¬

sider your interests and

We've built a strong repu¬ 
tation as a first-rate steel¬

looking at tomorrow.
